Ambi Parmeshwaran has developed a fascination for how Indians are getting more religious but also more consumption driven. Combining his thirty- year experience as an adman with a lifelong passion for religious studies, Ambi seeks to answer questions like:
• Why has the bindi disappeared from advertisements?
• How did Akshaya Trithaya become such a big deal?
• What makes Lord Shiva so cool?
• How did a Chennai-based department store start the New Year's Sale phenomenon?
• Are Muslims more open-minded shoppers?
• Why do people who have no interest in using an MBA degree still get an MBA degree?
• How did the Manusmriti do a disservice to Hindu women?
• What can Harvard Business School learn from the Kumbh Mela?
Ambi has filled this book with personal stories, anecdotes, lessons and excerpts from research and other publications. This book is a treat for anyone interested in how religion has evolved and how clever marketers have ridden the wave by tailoring their products and services.
